    Too bad, but I'm not going to be in Belgium long enough for a repeat visit to de garre, but I hear bottles of their fine 'ol tripel are available sometimes.

    Anyone know where I could buy a bottle of the tripel in Brussels? I'm in town though to today and this weekend. Not to mention de Dolle and their Special Reserva. Much appreciated.

    On your way home, stop in philly, and take the train to Wayne. Teresa's has it, and the beeryard may have bottles.

    It is only available in De Garre in Brugge. You can have it on draft or you can buy a (magnum) bottle. There are no other (official) options.

    I hoped that wasn't the case. Oh well, at least I have the glass. Thanks for responding.

    I've seen bottles before in Oregon and Texas as well. Never in California though. Love that tripel.

    I've had it on draft at Simmzy's in Venice (Los Angeles). Sort of nocked me for a loop.

    It's been a while since I've had it at the source, but it tasted like what I remembered (but so do lots of Triples). IIRC it is brewed by Van Steenberge so it doesn't surprise that it "leeks" out from time to time :slight_smile:
